Best July 2021 movies
"The Boss Baby 2: Family Business" — July 2, 2021

"The Forever Purge" — July 2, 2021
We all know the point of a Purge night is to let out all your hate and break the law for one night a year, but what if there was no end? "The Forever Purge" explores this idea in a movie that's now playing in theaters. Unfortunately, there's no streaming release date yet, theater exclusive.
"Black Widow" — July 9, 2021

"Space Jam: A New Legacy" — July 16, 2021
The Tune Squad is back! This time, it's LeBron James who could use their help (or is it the other way around?). The movie will be released in theaters as well as HBO Max, which will stream free with your subscription.
"Old" — July 23, 2021
